Heiskell is a one-tract suburb of Powell, TN, population 5,203. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Powell baseline of 30.9%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,028, 19% below the Powell average of $1,276. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Broadacres and Powell Heights score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
